| We are spiritual beings journeying through this life in a | | | | spirit? The first step is to have awareness of |
| body that we have chosen for our expression. As I | | | | ourselves within each of these natures. Know how |
| have meditated on this statement and internalized its | | | | your ego tends to express itself and know your Divine |
| meaning, I have been made aware of how very | | | | attributes as well. Be an observer and watch where |
| fundamentally life changing this statement really is. If | | | | your thoughts go. Are they rooted in the form and |
| we can grasp the meaning of this statement and learn | | | | perpetuating self and separation, or are they rooted in |
| to practically live it out in our daily lives we will be able | | | | spirit perpetuating love and connectedness? The very |
| to transcend our ego nature and view our lives from a | | | | act of awareness brings change so the more |
| whole new perspective. Suddenly our lives are not just | | | | awareness we have in our daily lives, the more we |
| about what happens to us on a day by day basis. Our | | | | can change where we live that day, that moment. The |
| logical thinking and reasoning are not nearly as | | | | more that we can know our spirituality the more |
| controlling. Our perceptions that we gain through this | | | | brightly we can shine in this life and the more we can |
| body and the limitations we impose on ourselves | | | | realize our very purpose for becoming form in the first |
| through this body somehow fade in their importance | | | | place to love and to serve mankind. |
| because we realize this body is just a temporary shell, | | | | While awareness is important, it is not enough. We |
| a casing if you will, for something much more infinite, | | | | need to take those areas of awareness and move |
| much more pure. Our awareness of all that we are | | | | them towards the spiritual action. Viewing the ego as |
| takes on a new meaning because we realize that we | | | | an indicator of areas we can change to manifest spirit. |
| are not just this body we are much more. What we | | | | We are powerful beings in spirit and we can change all |
| desire in this lifetime our goals and aspirations all | | | | that we choose to change. Our mind will and emotions |
| change with this one little statement. All that we | | | | will show us where the changes need to be made and |
| experience in this body doesn't just happen to us any | | | | through our conscious thought we can transform |
| more and we come to realize that it has higher | | | | these weaknesses to our strengths. If we will this |
| meaning, teaching us, moving our awareness to our | | | | change to place it will take place. If we allow the |
| true nature. We are motivated by love that expects | | | | working of spirit to transform us to this state. |
| nothing for itself in return because we realize that we | | | | We need to ask for guidance from all the beings within |
| are only fulfilling our purpose | | | | our energy that are there to bring understanding to us. |
| Our mind will and emotions are all part of this body but | | | | Our guides and teachers are all part of a number of |
| they are more than we have understanding of. They | | | | beings who want to help manifest our spiritual nature in |
| are actually bridges connecting the spiritual and the | | | | our form. In essence helping us remember who we |
| physical. They are tools to express our spiritual beings | | | | are in this life and what our purpose is for coming here. |
| in the physical world. Ego makes them take on a life of | | | | We have a great deal of power when we realize our |
| their own when we disconnect from our spirituality. | | | | Divinity, a great deal of power that we can use for the |
| The more strongly we identify with this form and the | | | | good of mankind, to bring healing and light and as we |
| ego the less perceptive we are of our connectedness | | | | do this we bring this love and healing to ourselves. We |
| to the things of spirit. Our bridge goes no where | | | | are no longer the powerless beings bound to this world |
| except back to self and that is all there is. We spend a | | | | and the limits it perpetuates on our beings. We find |
| great deal of our time in this life identified with our form | | | | ourselves in a place above that, a place that is totally |
| rather than our spirit and when this is where our | | | | connected to our fellow man and All that Is. |
| awareness is, we are concerned only with our | | | | We also need to see all of what we experience in this |
| individuality, and that which feeds our separateness. | | | | lifetime in the physical as things that move us spiritually. |
| We believe in our rightness, judgments and | | | | There is spiritual meaning behind all and when we will |
| experiences and we use them to shape our | | | | allow ourselves to raise above the physical |
| personhood. As all is moved in our lives to bring these | | | | manifestation of circumstances we begin to see the |
| things to our reality they become more and more | | | | spiritual connection, the moving of all things to a higher |
| concrete and harder and harder to break through the | | | | and more beautiful purpose. When we start to |
| walls of our defensiveness and protection until we | | | | understand that our very purpose for coming into this |
| block out all but the faintest view of our spiritual nature. | | | | form is to love and to serve all then we can reconnect |
| Even our actions and motives that seem right and | | | | the bridge between the physical and the spiritual and |
| good come with attachments to self and how we can | | | | our connectedness moves us toward wholeness and |
| be fulfilled and we are tangled up in expectations of | | | | deep joy which is our birthright and the very |
| how others will react and what they will or will not give | | | | expression of God through us. We will more |
| us in return for our goodness.Each and every thought | | | | completely realize who we are in truth through our |
| and decision that we make in this life reflects either | | | | Divinity and we will see the falseness of everything |
| form or spirit. | | | | else because the light of our being will expose it to us. |
| So how can we achieve alignment of our spiritual self | | | | We will move ourselves back to our origin, our very |
| and our ego self and bring ourselves to a knowing of | | | | roots, our spiritual nature, and there and only there will |
| the true divinity that we have as spiritual beings? How | | | | we find peace. |
| can we turn what comes to us in form as growth for | | | | |
